Common Entrance Exams

Common Entrance Exams for senior independent schools in Edinburgh can be set for admission at 11 or 13. These papers are set centrally by the Independent School Exam Board but marking is done by the school. At age 11, Common Entrance is usually limited to Maths, English and Science. The 13+ paper covers the full range of subjects including compulsory English, Maths, Science, History, Geography and RE. There are four optional foreign language papers, and some schools require Latin.

Scholarship Exams

The Scholarship exam is a more challenging version of the Common Entrance Exam, and designed to identify the most able Edinburgh Independent School students. Those who pass the scholarship exam receive an Edinburgh Independent School fee reduction known as a scholarship.
